On outfielder Jorge Soler‘s birthday, the Kansas City Royals were defeated handily by the Colorado Rockies. The day started off with a rocket off the bat of Raimel Tapia, over the fence on the first pitch by Scott Barlow. It was the only run he allowed in his two innings of work.
The birthday boy, Soler also sent the first pitch of one of his at bats over the wall for one of four home runs hit by the Royals on the day, and his only hit of the game.
